The location of 512 is in a repurposed 1870’s Victorian house located just off Ligonier Street in Latrobe near the Amtrak train station. 512 is the street number. I posted a link from the June 2021 Tribune Review article about the grand opening. The owner is Michael Ciotti, a 2002 graduate of Greater Latrobe High School.
I ordered a Pumpkin Spice Latte (16 oz.) and Pumpkin Muffin.
My drink came out hot (which is how coffee should taste). I ordered it with skim milk. The owner made my drink and was very courteous. I asked about the old fashioned cash register which is from 1924. It was probably used in one of the old five and ten chains.
The pumpkin muffin was great. It had great flavor and tasted just right. It was not too hard or stale. On the pumpkin bread mix I have from Target is a recipe for pumpkin streusel that I’ll have to try sometime.
Pastries are from Prantl’s and ice cream is from Kerber’s. Michael also picked up equipment from the former Valley Dairy in downtown Latrobe.
I had my choice of that plus a pumpkin bar which also looked tempting, as well as chocolate chip muffins. There’s a candy counter as well with various types of candy bars to choose from. You can also get ice cream (like Abigail’s).
You can sit outside on the porch or inside in the lounge. I give this place points for the Mister Rogers book as well as a picture of the man himself. There’s also an autographed picture of Mr. McFeely. David Newell was in Latrobe during the banana split festival and here he is with owner Michael Ciotti.
I thanked the owner for a great experience and got style points on my outfit and heels.
